Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of implementing the Sustained Silent Reading approach as a means to enhance students' proficiency in comprehending descriptive texts within the context of English language learning. The participants of this study were selected from a specific group of pupils in Class X at 1 Public High School Metrokibang who had previously demonstrated a limited comprehension of descriptive literature. The researcher employed qualitative methodologies to examine various subjects, employing a combination of purposive sampling, direct observation, and structured interviews with the designated participants. The interview procedure entails the posing of four inquiries by students, to which students thereafter provide responses in their capacity as informants or subjects. Based on the present investigation, it was determined that pupils encountered challenges in comprehending the English language due to the inadequacy and inefficiency of the employed instructional approaches. The implementation of the collaborative reading technique in the classroom setting may lead to less focus among students, hence hindering their comprehension of English descriptive texts. However, the implementation of the Sustained Silent Reading approach in educational settings has been found to enhance students' comprehension of descriptive literature, hence improving their overall reading comprehension skills. Hence, it was determined by the researcher that the utilisation of this approach has the potential to enhance students' comprehension of descriptive text and foster a heightened level of engagement in the learning process

Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period for language development, including English learning. Preliminary observations at KIDEA Kindergarten, Indonesia, showed that children aged 5–6 years were passive, lacked confidence, and had difficulty naming and describing objects in English. Previous studies have not sufficiently explored Montessori-based play materials for English learning in this context. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Montessori method on children's English language skills. This study employed classroom action research consisting of three cycles involving 15 kindergarten children. Data were collected through observation sheets, interviews, and questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive percentage techniques. The results showed improvement in English language skills from Cycle I (29.0%) to Cycle II (55.0%) and Cycle III (74.8%). Learning participation also reached 77.4% in Cycle III, while student satisfaction increased from 67% to 87%–93%. The findings indicate that the Montessori method supported children's English development through structured play, repeated vocabulary exposure, and teacher scaffolding. In conclusion, Montessori-based learning improved English skills in this context. The study suggests its potential as an alternative approach in early childhood English instruction.
